It was very disappointing. The following confession was on BET sunday morning!
Mori
"Forgive me, father, for I have sinned. It's been two years since I last voted GOP"
Now that she's won her primary, it's confession time for Denise Majette. The Democratic nominee and presumed heir to the 4th Congressional District seat was questioned by a panel of African-American journalists on a Sunday news program produced by BET.
Yes, it's true, she said: She voted for the far-right Alan Keyes in the 2000 Republican presidential primary. Wow. No word on whom she cast her vote for that November.

Yes Habib, a real shame the way this turned out, but I think the saddest part
of it is that she was trying to do the right thing, and the other candidate
that won was just being used and did not seem to mind that.
The boys have been back to school in Tennessee since Aug 12. and the girls
think they are all grown, that is until they need money or get into a sticky
situation that mom can help with. (LOL)
I am sure this story is familiar to you too.
